I had never been on a food crawl until I signed up to go on the MsIndependent Glisten Dine Around in CityCentre. I had no idea what to expect except trying different foods. So here we go! Let’s dive into the details of each of the five places we hit up on the Glisten Dine Around.

I had a chance to get my hands on a Lularoe Carly dress recently & I’ve been wearing it lots of different ways! I’ve had quite a bit of interest on my Instagram about how I like wearing my Carly dress…so I thought I’d put together a quick post for all you lovely people asking!

I’m wearing this eShakti dress on repeat, if I won’t be seeing the same people I’ll wear this dress back to back (to back). As soon as I tried it on, I wore it to an event the same night! And every event I could since then. This eShakti dress was custom made just for me!

The Dollar General & Nestle have got me to spill a dark fall secret of mine. You see my friends, I have a secret. I secret that saddens me every time fall rolls around.. I don’t like pumpkin anything. I see those cans of Libby’s Pumpkin lined up & sigh thinking I might be missing out. But I’ve been on a mission to figure this out & I think I’ve cracked the case!

While brain storming on a gift guide I wanted to compile for the holidays with uncommonGoods, I thought back on last Christmas. It was Christmas Eve & our neighbors left a gift at our front door for us. WHAT?! I didn’t get them anything, they had just moved in & I had that “OH, SHOOT!!” moment. I scattered and regifted something that we had just received, but man I felt silly for not having a few gifts on hand for a moment like this!

So this year I’ve searched out my favorite gifts from uncommonGoods to have on hand for those “Oh, Shoot!” holiday moments. I love companies who strive to have a positive impact in the world. One of my favorite things uncommonGoods does is give back $1 to a non-profit organization you select, each time you check out. And they’ve already given over $1,000,000!

UncommonGoods has amazing gift guides that had me drooling! Check out their women’s gift guide for that hard to shop for woman. And their men’s gift guide helped me nail down some awesome gifts for my hubby, check it out! But I needed a few gifts that could cover a variety of the people who just might gift me out of the blue.

So onto the “Oh, Shoot” gift guide so hopefully you won’t get stuck in an awkward situation this holiday season.

While pursing my stories on Instagram, I stumbled upon my favorite van life couple making a new to me recipe! And I scour magazines, pinterest & cook books like a mad woman. I LOVE food, I love eating & I love trying new things! So let me tell you about this quick & easy recipe that will satisfy those hungry tummies!

That suede skirt trend..LOVE IT. I am loving all the twists on the suede skirt & all the wonderful ways I am seeing others wear it! But could I pull it off in a way? Whenever that’s my first thought I head to the thrift stores to see if I can find what I need without a huge out of pocket cost.

I got CoolSculpting last week at Advanced Laser Solutions & MedSpa in Houston (Upper Kirby location). Yep. I sure did. You might have seen my stories, if you follow my Instagram.

First. Why? I’ll get asked this question a lot, in fact I already have. Well, I am for the most part confident & very loving of my body. Except my mama muffin, I just can’t grasp loving it. I’ve always had a bit of a bulge but after birthing my daughter (almost two years ago) it’s just the worse. My c-section scar has created a “shelf” that my fat seems to collect on & I don’t like it. I hide it well with supportive undies (favs!) & shape wear galore!

Leggings are so misunderstood, poor leggings. Yes just like every piece of fashion item out, there’s bad seeds out there. But when you find leggings that are winners, it is a day that deserves celebration. Let me tell you about my favorite (and only) pair of black leggings. Continue Reading…
